Do you miss the simple days of Django templates?

Single page applications (SPAs) swept us all up in a hurricane. If you're like me, you've dabbled in or are currently using frameworks like React, Angular, or one of the thousands of variations. And, if you're like me, you're wondering if all of the complexity is really worth it.

  1. Django and good ol' Django templates
  2. Intercooler.js to add just the right amount of AJAX
  3. UI Kit for spectacular looking sites, pages, and interactivity
